I agree the police agencies do it all the time been on that road plenty of times only to be passed by a cruiser going 100 or better they think they are above the law!!

I believe she got pulled over outside of cumberland. As the officer was approaching her car, she pulled out and ran. Then she almost had a headon collision when she crossed the center lane. What if she would have killed someone or killed herself? Yeah i agree about the law speeding up and down 119. But she got pulled over first time for weaving in and out of the road. I think if you break the law, you should have to pay the price. I mean seriously what if she would have hit someone, and badly injured them or even killed them, or their children, then everyone would have a different view. Thank God that didnt happen!

What does it matter? She broke the law. I don't know why he was in cumberland pulling cars over. If you want to know the answer,why don't you ask him?. 50, 60, or even 70 miles per hour could have resulted in a fatal crash. Thank God it didn't. When the police do their job, people want to know the answers to why this or why that. SHE BROKE THE LAW! Enough said.

I remember a high speed chase of going 25 in a 15 mph zone. I had to attend school so they would not put that on my record. If the woman were reckless, that is one thing; however, I don't think they can really call this a high speed chase (more like a normal speed chase). Some people are fined for going too slow. Sometimes that is a hazard. My idea of high speed is anything over 100 mph. Route 119 is not all that bad; I guess that was my point.
